Sijun Forums :: View topic - Donatello, My favourite ninja turtle, which one is your favo

Capt.FlushGarden · Posted: Sat Jun 16, 2001 7:49 am

Cowabunga dude!

This is my favourite Ninja Turtle Donatello,
I saw a picture a long time ago, The turtles where really mean-looking, with white eyes and fearsome teeth,so I tried to do my own mean-looking turtle. It's actually my first serious try at doing this kinda art with linedrawings and stuff...

Why don't you post your favourite turtle, c'mon it would be fun! I heard that there was a turtle thread a long time ago, but let's do it again =)

That's well good, I like the detail in the veins and nice highlighting. My only crit is that the left foot looks like it's pointing at an odd angle, shouldn't it point to the right of the viewer?

Donatello is da man...

It's like his Bo is a natural extension of his body...

GREAT PIC btw

I like dontello as well but raph took the biscuit, dumb and stubborn love him

Probotech · Posted: Sat Jun 16, 2001 1:35 pm

Donatello's my fav!

When i was a kid i used to dig TNMNT, i even have the second number of the comicbook somewhere, hot damn might get me some $$$ for it nowadays.

Siftland · Posted: Sat Jun 16, 2001 1:59 pm

I love the Turtles. When I watched the cartoon my favorite was Mike....But eventually I learned to like Leo more.

That's an awesome pic! Only one problem though: the Turtles in the original comic book were the violent ones with no pupils which you refer....yet at that point every Turtle had a red bandana. The multicolored ones are a creation of the kid's cartoon. hehe....there's some trivia for you...

Daijoobu · Posted: Sat Jun 16, 2001 2:35 pm

Awesome! I'm just a bit bothered by the buildings to the far right...maybe the perspective is a bit off or something, I find them a bit distracting.
Otherwise, a kickass image!

Hah. I still have the 1st four books of the "red bandana" comics - including one where they ended up fighting space triceratops' with laser guns.
(does anyone else remember this?). They were pretty violent back then.

Awesome picture, Capt

Raphael was my fave.

NICE!
DAmn I was totally a turtle fan...Do we have to pick a turtle... I always liked Casey Jones the most...such an angry individual. And yusagi yojimbo...just cause he was a damn rabbit ninja...anyway...gotta say i think I liked Leonardo, just because he got 2 swords...all the other weapons just were too wussy...I mean who could get hurt by a pair of Sai??? *fffwaaK!!!! AAIYEE nevermind...*weeping

I like this style, you look like a texture man, nice use of textures...kinda subtle...I like the soft diffuse lighting with the bold inking of Donatello, it is fresh to me

The buildings are a little wierd, but I just keep my focus on Don so I dont mind

HA I would set the background back a little more, the lines are sooo heavy, but thats me.

Looks like he is pissed...but doing a Hawaiin hip dance Is that how you spell hawaiin......wierd . Me likes Don

Art

ninja turtles ruled.
I like the comic style it has. If all comic books were colored like this, more people would by them.

Jucas · Posted: Sat Jun 16, 2001 5:17 pm

I guess I am first eh? Sorta hard to follow up Capt. but here goes, my rendition of Raph-

and colored WIP

crits and comments welcome.

Raph was the best

Why do I always end up screwing with your images Cap'n? ^_^

Personally I like Leonardo. Being the leader, and named after my favorite artist, well, it was innevitable!

Cos · Posted: Sat Jun 16, 2001 11:23 pm

very cool captn! looks pretty atmospheric. Ever see the turtles comic Bodycount drawn by bisley, meanest turtles i ever seen.

Maniac · Posted: Sun Jun 17, 2001 12:19 am

Capt.FlushGarden · Posted: Sun Jun 17, 2001 1:07 am

Anthony! I had a big laugh! he really does that "this big" thing with his hands...hahaha
Actually I saw this pose in a fighter magazine, some karate dude was standing like that, pointing his hands like they where holding guns...
